1. '''Enable PCIe''': Must make sure to '''enable PCIe in the OS on the NVME SSD you are booting''', instead of the OS on SD card. Too people just enable PCIe in the OS on the SD CARD.
3. '''Set NVME boot order'''; 4. DON'T enable PCIe 3.0, '''ONLY PCIe 2.0 is supported''' by Raspberry Pi fundation. 5. If your SSD is '''OLD''' and has a '''DOS partition''', delete the DOS partition and repartition the SSD (feedback from buyer) 6. Please visit the guide below for specific operations. '''[PS]''': The official Raspberry Pi firmware is frequently upgraded and the OS is not stable enough. It is also a challenge for us.--> This tutorial<ref>Refer to [https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/nvme-ssd-boot-raspberry-pi-5 NVM NVMe SSD boot with the Raspberry Pi 5]</ref> describes how to configure the Raspberry Pi OS on PI 5 to get pcie pip working ==Enabling Important Notes=={{NVMe SSD Incompatibility List}} ==Enable PCIe==
By default the PCIe connector is not enabled. To enable it you should add the following option into <span class="tb_blue">/boot/firmware/config.txt</span> and <span class="tb_blue">reboot</span>:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
Then add the following comment;
# Enable the PCIe External connector.
dtparam=nvme
Press '''Ctrl-O''', then enter, to write the change to the file.
Press '''Ctrl-X ''' to exit nano (the editor).
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
Then DON'T forgot to reboot
sudo reboot
You also can refer to official documentatio:[https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi-5.html#enabling-pcie Enabling PCIe] After reboot,use the lspci command to display your PCIe devices sudo lspciThe output is as follows, note that the content of the third line depends on the NVME control you are using. <span style="color:green;">pi@raspberrypi:</span> <span style="color:#50BEFF;">~ $</span> sudo lspci 0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries Device 2712 (rev 21) <span class=Set "tb_red">0000:01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Silicon Motion, Inc.

For thatOS, you need so the Raspberry Pi OS needs to change the be flashed onto NVME SSDs, this is very important! '''BOOT_ORDEROnly''' in the support Raspberry PiOS ('''Bookworm'''s bootloader configuration) version, Raspberry Pi OS bullseye or Ubuntu or Home Assistant OS is NOT supported, refer to https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/<pre># Edit Here are a few ways to flash the EEPROM on the Raspberry Pi 5.OS to an NVME SSD:sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit
<span class="tb_red">This is a visual operation and we highly recommend it!</span>
'''2. Flash the SSD with Raspberry Pi Imager'''
# Install Pi Imager and open it
# Plug your NVMe SSD into your computer using a USB to NVMe adapter
# Choose the drive (connected through your adapter) to flash
# Click write (and set any options you'd like)
# Once you have finished flashing is completethe OS, pull DON'T remove the NVMe drive, attach it nvme SSD. You need to your Pi 5, and it should boot off it (with or without a microSD card inserted)—assuming you have change the config.txt in the root directory of the bootloader up NVME SSD drive to date and set the '''BOOT_ORDERenable pcie'''(<span class="tb_blue">edit config.txt and add ' appropriately!dtparam=pciex1'</span> on the end of file), this is very important and too many people forget this.
Then pull the NVMe drive, attach it to your Pi 5, and it should boot off it (with or without a microSD card inserted)—assuming you have the bootloader up to date and set the '''Clone your microSD boot volume to an NVMe SSDBOOT_ORDER'''appropriately!
If you are flashing a fresh Pi OS to NVME ssd, you must [[# Clone Enable PCIe]]; if you are COPY or CLONE an old Pi OS from SD card to NVME ssd, and you have already enabled pcie in the NVMe drive (usually nvme0n1old Pi OS in advance, but check with `lsblk`).sudo rpi-clone nvme0n1</pre>then you don't need to do enable pcie again!
==Set NVMe early in the boot order==The PCIe connection should work after a reboot, but your Pi won't try booting off an NVMe SSD yet. For that, you need to change the '''NoteBOOT_ORDER'''in the Raspberry Pi's bootloader configuration: You may want to wipe all disk partitions before cloning:<pre>sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p?sudo wipefs --all --force /dev/nvme0n1p?sudo wipefs --all --force /dev/nvme0n1sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1024 count=1</pre>
* Use tool '''raspi-config''' to set boot order
sudo raspi-config
Then select '''6 Advanced Opitions''' => '''A4 Boot Order''' => '''B2 NVMe/USB Boot''' answer '''Yes''', then <code>sudo reboot</code>
* Run the following command to set boot order.
sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit
Then change the BOOT_ORDER line to the following:
BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
'''Reboot''' your Raspberry Pi 5 to make the change take effect.
